Lipscomb University Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Lipscomb University is a Church of Christ-affiliated liberal arts university in Nashville, Tennessee. Lipscomb University was founded in 1891 by David Lipscomb and James A. The original name was the Nashville Bible School, which was changed to David Lipscomb College, then to David Lipscomb University. In 1954, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools granted Lipscomb its first accreditation. In 1988, Lipscomb attained Level III (master’s degree-granting) status and became known as David Lipscomb University. In 1994, the “David” was dropped and the institution was renamed simply Lipscomb University. From the school’s inception all full-time students were required to take daily Bible classes and to attend daily chapel services (now held in the on-campus sports facility Allen Arena), although the school was never intended to function primarily as a seminary, a term looked upon with disfavor by many members of the Churches of Christ, but rather as a Christian liberal arts institution. David Lipscomb was a pacifist who was highly skeptical about government, but Lipscomb University has, with a few notable exceptions, largely strayed from this example. The campus grounds consist predominantly of the former estate of David Lipscomb, who donated it to the school. Harding (cofounders, 1891) note: David Lipscomb never served as president, but as chairman of the board of trustees. As a liberal arts university, Lipscomb has a wide range of academic programs, although there is an emphasis on education, biblical scholarship, and business. Some academic buildings were built with public funds, and, because Lipscomb is a Christian school, this led to an extended lawsuit that made it to the Supreme Court. Rather, it has social clubs, which are local and unique to Lipscomb University and are not part of any national Greek system. The university also offers membership in other academic, professional, and service clubs including Alpha Kappa Psi International Business Fraternity, Alpha Phi Chi men’s service club, Pi Kappa Sigma women’s service club, Sigma Pi Beta co-ed service club, Alpha Chi National Honors Society, Sigma Tau Delta National English honor society, Circle K International, College Republicans, and College Democrats. The university has an ongoing sports rivalry with Belmont University, just 3 miles down the road from Lipscomb. In 2006, the rivalry reached a new level when Belmont and Lipscomb advanced to the finals of the Atlantic Sun tournament at the Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tennessee, with the winner earning its first-ever bid to the NCAA tournament.

Lipscomb University Academics

There’s never a reason to feel alone in your studies either, since there are academic support services like Extensive Undergraduate Evening or Early Morning Classes, Learning Center, Reduced Course Load, Remedial Instruction, Study Skills Assistance, Tutoring and Writing Center.
